RyanSmithAT: I wasn't expecting that we'd get to see any new silicon out of today's Intel investor webinar.But I have to admit I want to see them pull it of… RyanSmithAT: Intel pushing out so many Xeons in short order is an insane plan.Now they just need to start putting it into the more expensive lenses with the same sense of urgency. Sony and others with in-body IS are forcing Canon to put IS into more of the low-end lenses. They are making progress in the higher ISO numbers thank God for Nikon forcing their hand in this arena. The Digic III processor is a champ at high speed image processing Digic IV will feel like overkill with anything less than 15MP images. The next version of the high-end Rebel and maybe the prosumer model (40D successor, although the 40D will be around for a while) needs to have a swing-out LCD. Update all existing IS lenses to use the latest-generation "three or four stop" IS technology (*cough* 28-135 IS USM, 70-200 f/4L and f/2.8L *cough*) Update all L Zoom lenses to have IS, at least as an option like with the 70-200 f/4L and f/2.8L zooms (*cough* 17-40 f/4L *cough*) Update all Prime lenses > $200 to use Ring USM (*cough* 50mm f/1.4 *cough*) Now Canon needs to get on the ball with other lens upgrades: It is a huge upgrade over the original kit lens and good enough to make me swear off purchasing the 17-55 f/2.8 IS. slashbinslashbash - Thursday, Jlink I am glad that Canon was competitively forced into creating an IS version of the 18-55 kit lens, with better optics to boot. The table below compares just the items that differ among the XS, XSi, and XTi. If a specification is not listed you can assume it is the same among the entry models.Īuto Lighting Optimizer, Highlight Tone Priority The new Canon XS draws heavily on the current XSi – more so than the previous XTi. It is not just a relabeling of the XTi, since it uses the same new battery as the XSi and stores images on SD cards instead of Compact Flash. The XS can also be fitted with the BG-E5 Battery Grip which was introduced with the XSi. Canon’s answer is the Canon XS which was announced today in the US. With a shrinking world it was a bit of a surprise to see Canon introduce the European version, called the 1000D, almost a month ago on June 10 th. Perhaps it is an indication of the increasing power of the Euro and the decline of the Dollar that Canon chose to launch this model first in Europe.
